Hey! Your team beats us in something. Literally. More violent crime happens per capita in Denver than in San Diego (according to the FBI)
More property crime happens per capita in Denver so you better protect your valuables if you visit (when compared to San Diego -- according to the FBI)

Since some people can't read thread titles, I'll bump this thread that's already sticky.

Wow.

Chargers to-do list:

1. Fire Norv, promote Pagano as Interim Head Coach.

2. Rivers is not ELITE! (I'm sorry)

3. Draft a CB in the 1st round, and maybe draft a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

None of those would fix the real problems. We would still have AJ, and we would still have a patchwork offensive line. Until those two problems are resolved, this team won't go anywhere. After those are fixed, then we can focus on the secondary.

through music, you can live forever...

I disagree.
